Orkney

Orkney boasts the award-laden Creel Inn and Restaurant in St Margaret’s Hope, 2004’s Scottish Restaurant of the Year. All the islands’ restaurants, pubs and cafés can draw on an astonishing array of top-class local produce: Orkney Island Gold beef, North Ronaldsay lamb, local seafood and organic salmon, Orkney cheeses, locally produced fruit and vegetables, beers such as Dark Island and Skull Splitter, and the famous Highland Park whisky, produced in Kirkwall. Distillery tours are highly recommended.

Seasonal produce

For a taste of Orkney’s best seasonal produce, the Creel Restaurant with Rooms takes pride in using local ingredients wherever possible and, thanks to its waterfront location, seafood is a specialty. Find hand-dived scallops, mussels and lobster from local creels on the menu, as well as lesser known fish, such as torsk and sea witch. The island’s organic salmon and the famous seaweed-fed North Ronaldsay lamb are also a must-try.

Highland Park

Equally interesting is the Highland Park whisky distillery. This splendid single malt whisky has received praise from enthusiasts around the world, which, with 200 years of distilling tradition behind it, shows no sign of abating.
